Lapland UK's Luxury Christmas Experience Sells Out Swiftly, Leaving Many Families Eager But Unable to Afford High Prices
Lapland UK, a luxurious Christmas attraction, has once again drawn immense popularity, with tickets selling out swiftly. Only a few slots remain for the 'magical' day out, leaving many British families perplexed but unable to afford the high prices of gold.
The 'Santapreneurs' behind Lapland UK, Alison and Mike Battle, opened the first incarnation in Tunbridge Wells in 2007. Since then, it has become one of the UK's most popular festive attractions. Critics argue that the high gold prices make it unaffordable for most families.
The standard experience starts from around £95 per person for those who book early in December. However, gold prices can soar to £599 per person on weekends and peak periods. Children under one are free, but tickets for older children cost the standard price. Additional fees include a booking fee of £19.80 and postage and packaging of £5.80, making a family of four's visit around £2,400.
Despite the high cost, Lapland UK attracts celebrities like Elton John, The Beckhams, and The Prince and Princess of Wales. The immersive experience offers a four-hour Golden Experience tour starting at £299 per person on weekdays in November.
Lapland UK continues to be a sought-after festive attraction, with tickets selling out quickly. While the high gold prices make it unaffordable for many, the luxurious experience remains popular among celebrities and those willing to pay the premium. A day trip to actual Lapland, including flights and activities, costs around £2,308 for a family of four, making Lapland UK a relatively expensive but closer alternative.
